Psalms 85:10 Context
8I will heare what God the Lord will speake: for hee will speake peace vnto his people, and to his Saints: but let them not turne againe to folly. 9Surely his saluation is nigh them that feare him; that glory may dwell in our land. 10Mercy and truth are met together: righteousnesse and peace haue kissed each other. 11Truth shall spring out of the earth: and righteousnesse shall looke downe from heauen. 12Yea the Lord shall giue that which is good: and our land shall yeeld her increase.

Wesley's Notes for Psalms 85:10
85:10 Kissed - That great work of redemption by Christ, shall clearly manifest God's mercy in redeeming his people Israel, and in the conversion of the Gentiles; his truth in fulfilling that great promise of sending his son, his righteousness in punishing sin, on his son, and in conferring righteousness upon guilty and lost creatures; and his peace or reconciliation to sinners, and that peace of conscience which attends upon it.
